The View From Here
At our CC campus today, we dissected owl pellets. Have y'all done this already? We found it very cool and also pretty gross. My boy and his dissecting partner were very excited to find a skull of {we think} a small bird. Plus 14 other small bones!At home, my biggest little happened to be reading The Imagination Station … [Read more...]
The View From Here {& A Random Tip}
Anyone else use a chalkboard in their school space? Anyone else's look like this? The chalk buildup was out of control on mine, making it harder for my little scholars to read the chalkboard. Then, I remembered a random pointer I had read somewhere quite a while back (I believe before Pinterest - gasp!). To use soda to clean your … [Read more...]

Sometimes in search of the items on their cards and other times, whacking trees with sticks … [Read more...]

These pics are from yesterday and today. We've had two rainy days in a row, but there's no sign of that grayness in here (except perhaps that mommy has wanted to nap both days!). Here's my crew exploring instruments in our living room. If only you could've heard the "music" coming from this room. Pretty sure my neighbors … [Read more...]
The View From Here – PJ Day
I'm more of a Martha then a Mary myself, so it's all too easy for me to get lost in the lists or to-dos of the day. I've been inspired over the last few months to pause and take in "the view from here." and not just take it in, but enjoy it too. Allow myself and my family to be blessed by God's presence. Often, I capture these regular moments … [Read more...]
